Monster Bait by Brynn Paulin

I see monsters.
I’ve seen them since I was little, but no one believed me. After being orphaned, I kept quiet about it. Everyone forgot about my abilities. I’m just an ordinary girl next door. Nothing special.
Except I can still see the monsters.
I thought, maybe in my new town, I could put the past behind me. I should have known better. Turns out, girls like me? We’re special after all. We’re destined mates to these beings only we can see. When we turn twenty-one, we become monster magnets. We’re fair game for the chase. The first male to catch us…he’s our mate.
When the moon rises on my birthday this year, I’m straight up Monster Bait. But I have a plan. I’m getting away. My strategy works, too. Until he steps out of the shadows. He’s a monster unlike any I’ve ever seen. I’m not even sure what he is. But he knows me and he’s waited a long, long time to make me his.
I’m not that easy. I tell him NO.
And he listens!
That’s a shock, but now, I don’t even know what to do. Even as I search for a way to escape, my attraction to him grows by the day. How much longer can I say no, before this beast wins me over and all I can say is YES?
